Compact, portable shear
Metabo Corp. offers the Ku6870
shear for heavy-duty, burr-free cutting, shearing, and trimming of sheet
metal.
The 12-ga. shear can convert from
a portable tool to a stationary one
when mounted upside down on a tool
bench. In addition, its heavy-duty
cutting head and drop-forged base
help ensure accurate cutting, and its
blades have four cutting edges that do
not require sharpening or adjustment,
states the company.
The compact tool can be operated
with one hand, and the tool rest on
top of the machine also serves as a
bench mount when the machine is
used as a stationary shear. It also has a
lock-on switch to provide additional
control and ease of use, the company
reports.
With 5. 2 amps, the shear features a
maximum torque of 53 in.-lbs., 3,000
no-load SPM, and a capacity of 12 ga.
in mild steel and 14 ga. in mild stainless steel. Minimum cutting radius is
3. 4 in., and the tool measures 11 in.
and weighs 6.0 lbs.
